Epigram 38. Reason.
Knowest thou a Traitor plotting damned Treason?Reveale him, tis both loialty and Reason.
Knowest thou a thiefe will steale at any season?
To shun his company thou hast good reason.
Seest thou a villaine hang vp by the weason?
Hee hangs by reason that he wanted reason.
Good men are scarce, and honest men are geason.
To loue them therfore, tis both right and reason,
More I could say, but all's not worth two peason:
And therefore to conclude, I hold it reason.
